Re: tail gate questions

Auto body paint stores sell a tool that works great for removing the old stick-um off paint surfaces. The K2500 I have had bad molding on the lower third of the body so I pulled it off and used "the tool". It simply is a big round eraser that fits in your drill chuck and you can rub off the glue/ tape residue. I had to charge the battery on my drill 3X to remove all the old double-side tape crud off the finish. This is what auto body shops use as well. I learned some of these tricks from a friend of mine who's painted cars and trucks for a living ~50 years.
